Cool Eureka

I found the problem with the gfci. I had the front batteries tied down with a nylon strap and when I disconnected it the charger started to work. The directions said I could run it at 13 amps but the best I can get is 12 amps, when I run it at 13 amps the circut beraker kicks off. I am waiting for the CONSTANT VOLTAGE MODE to kick in. It is supposed to kick in at 169.2 volts, but this is the first time charging the batteries and will probably need to be adjusted. At the moment the pack is at 156 volts. Tomorrow I will be able to see what a fully charged electric car will do!!!!!!
I still plan to remove the front batteries and insulate them with the plastic.
